Blue Ridge Beef has been providing quality beef for our Great Danes since 2003. Their service is excellent – I can call in an order in the morning and pick it up in the early afternoon, regardless if it’s a single box of meat or several hundred pounds.

I have been feeding Blue Ridge beef for MANY years.  Let me say first and foremost that the quality is superb.  I have tried other brands over the years and absolutely none can compare.  I feel the weight, coat quality, and overall condition of my Persians is greatly enhanced because I feed Blue Ridge.

I've been buying meat from your NC location for about the last 18 months. I am feeding 3 adult Rottweilers, and they stay in TOP condition on your wonderful products. I recently finished the second CH title on my young bitch, and I attribute a lot of her incredible coat, muscle tone, and general well being to your products.

I am currently in the process of building a website, and I have put contact information on my raw diet page to you guys, because I am so impressed with your products, and your great service.  I'm planning a litter next year, and my puppy people will be directed to your locations around the southeast for their raw meat needs.  I feel so fortunate to have you and your SUPER products so close by.

Please check out my raw diet page at to see my glowing recommendation of your products.

As Afghan Hound breeders for over 25 years, we believe that diet is critical to overall health, appearance, performance, and particularly to reproductive health in our dogs.  A few years ago a breeder friend convinced me to switch to a raw diet.  She was adamant that it would reduce health issues requiring visits to the vet, and would increase reproductive health, resulting in healthier pregnancies and whelping, and larger healthier litters.

At first I was resistant because I thought it would be messy and would require more preparation than feeding kibble, but she persisted and put me in touch with Blue Ridge Beef, and I took the leap into the raw diet world!  Yes, it does require more preparation (although not much) but I enjoy the preparation time, and the feeling I get from providing healthy food for my dogs...  similar to the feeling I get when I prepare a healthy meal for my family.  

After switching to a raw diet I saw an immediate improvement in the health of my dogs, and was surprised that the dogs no longer had health issues that required visits to our vet.  Before I started feeding raw it seems I saw my vet frequently for various dog issues.  After feeding raw for several months my vet actually phoned me and asked if I had switched to another vet, because he never saw me anymore.   I told him the raw food I was feeding made my dogs healthier!  Some of the changes we experienced with our dogs are increased coat growth and improved physical  appearance...reduction in gastrointestinal problems.... larger litters, and increased sperm count.  I have a 9 year old bitch, with a valuable pedigree, who delivered 10 puppies after switching to raw. Three of those puppies have already finished their AKC Championships, and at least 2 more should finish this year.  All are still fed raw. That same bitch, as a three year old on kibble, delivered a littler of only 3 puppies, so the raw meat works!

My results are consistent with the results I hear from other breeders and pet owners who feed raw.  It makes sense to me and makes me wonder why I ever fed kibble.  When in college I worked in a zoo, and the carnivores (cats and wolves) were fed meats, eggs, and fish.  No kibble. Why should we feed our carnivores any differently?  

Many thanks to Blue Ridge Beef for making it easy for me to feed raw.
